British Steel said on Thursday evening that it had “the backing of its key stakeholders, including shareholders and lenders”, and that operations were continuing as normal.

Berkshire Hathaway is the top shareholder in numerous finical institutions and it can add PNC Financial (NYSE:PNC) to that list. Over the last quarter, Buffett & Co. increased his stake in PNC by about 35% and now owns over 8.2 million shares.And it's easy to see why Buffett is in love with PNC.PNC is considered a super-regional bank and operates a huge network of locations across the northeast and Midwest. That huge size and scope came not only from organic growth, but several smart buys of smaller struggling rivals during the recession.Because of this, PNC has continued to see its assets, deposits and loan growth steadily increase. Moreover, the bank is run very conservatively and features low loan losses and fortress-like balance sheet.Management at PNC has also been very smart in other ways as well. The bank has embraced technology throughout its customer system and the firm leads the way in app development, mobile banking and wealth management. And the firm saw the ETF writing on the wall early and holds a huge stake in asset manager BlackRock (NYSE:BLK).With all of this, PNC has continued to reward shareholders. Last year, PNC purchased more than $2.8 billion in stock and handed out more than $1.6 billion in dividends. It's no wonder why Buffett continued to add the regional bank last quarter.Source: Nancy
